It's hard, if not impossible to deny one's human nature, although a lot of time in the world is spent trying to do just that. For some reason Bill Clinton just popped into my head.
Yes, we are in agreement here. Once ideas are exposed like this the cat is out of the bag, pandora's box has been opened, Humpty Dumpty cannot get put back together again.

Because Fruit is GPL and everyone can look into it's sources.
Oh, for goodness sake, I am sick and tired to see every single thread of this subforum hijacked with the Rybka vs. Robbinhoodito issue. Can you guys restrain yourself from keep spamming the forum?

Miguel
Please Miguel excuse me if I just tell you that Don Dailey had mentioned exactly what I tried to ask him. Oherwise I wouldnt have asked him. I asked him in person because Don also wrote in this thread already. I dint make anything up, nor did I ask him something he never ever mentioned himself. Sorry, if I have hurt your sentiments. I dont want to reopen this topic. Was just spectacular to read in raw text that he thinks it's a good idea if the world now knows many good ideas thanks to the re-engineered code of Rybka. All I stated was that Vas had stated that his code had been stolen so that this wasnt in his agreement if the code became public. - I directly asked Don, after the text in the interview now. Sorry again. I didnt know that now the whole Rybka topic was tabooed. I wont mention it until the topic is allowed again. Sorry.
You are forcing me to set the record straight now because you keep putting words in my mouth. You seem to have some kind of need to believe that I "applaud" and "salute" what was done with Robbolitto. Where in that interview or anywhere else did I say that?

I would like to suggest to anyone reading this that you simply read firsthand what I said and draw your own conclusions, don't let Rolf interpret my words for you since they are there for you to see for yourself.

And for the record I do NOT salute what was done and especially do I not salute the motive behind it. It was done as a malicious attack as you can see from even a quick glance at the Robbolitto web site. In other words it was done in order to hurt and wound and this guy is full of hate inside of him.

My statement on the subject in the interview was of a factual nature and I would like to ask you to refrain from trying to put me in a box.
Hello:

Simply, ignore him... I repeat it: he is not productive; he is provocative... forget him...

Enjoy your interview.... Thank you for a nice and long interview.
